2 HOLM & OLSON, INC., SAINT PAUL 
DARWIN TULIPS 
T HE Darwins comprise the most popular class of tulips for the reason that they are generally better known than any of the older or 
newer types, and justly so, as the magnificent large flowers produce a beautiful and brilliant color effect in the garden early in 
the season when it is most welcome. 
Among the many colors and shades the reds 
and pinks predominate but soft blues, violets and 
purples with shadings into maroons and almost 
black may be found among them. In recent years 
pure white and yellows have been developed and 
are now available at a reasonable price. While 
there is quite a variation from the colors mentioned 
in Darwins, one must look among the Breeders for 
the golds and bronzes, and the Cottage tulips will 
supply the intense orange and scarlet.
